'Slutwalk' Goes Global To Protest Sexual Assault

In April, the first 'SlutWalk' march occurred in Toronto, Canada. The movement has spread across the world, including the U.S. To learn more about this march and its purpose, Michel Martin speaks with Heather Jarvis, co-founder of the first 'SlutWalk,' and Anna Fry, an organizer of the upcoming walk in Austin, Texas.
